I love Italy! I love the big cities like Venice and Rome, but I really love the small, quaint towns you don't read about in a guidebook! I went on a 2 day trip with some of my expat friends (Carlene, Amanda, and Courtney) and we had a blast. We went to Nove for a day and shopped until we dropped. Or let's be honest here, we had to stop shopping, because our cars were too full to put anything else in! ha! You are welcome, Italy's economy, we just gave you a boost.
In Nove, there is one ceramic shop that makes a lot of the pretty dishes you find at places like Williams Sonoma and Crate and Barrel. You buy them directly in Nove from the artisans and you walk away with a beautiful set of dishes or other handmade ceramics from Italy! See examples A and B below:

After an awesome dinner, we spent the night in Marostica, a cute little town with a fortess up on the mountain, another fortress at the bottom of the mountain and the whole town is surrounded by walls the connect the two fortresses. Beautiful!
